Netherlands

Students on program to the Netherlands can be placed anywhere in the country, though placement in the main cities (like Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Utrecht) is rare.

Your host family could be a family with young children, a single parent family or a family where all children have already moved out. Whatever your host family is composed of, they will help you adjust to the Dutch way of life. Your daily life will involve a lot of home activities with your host family. Most Dutch families share the responsibility for household tasks like keeping the house clean, doing the dishes and preparing dinner. You will probably be assigned some chores in the house.
